Fine Aggregate Content

Cement = C/Sc = 389.3/ (3.15 x 1000) = 0.124 m³
Water = W/1000 = 190 / 1000 = 0.190 m³
Coarse Agg = Ca/Sca= 958.018 /(2.58x 1000 ) 0.371 m³
Entraped Air = 0.06 x 1 = 0.060 m³
Total = 0.745 m³

Volume of fine Agg. required = 1 - 0.745 = 0.255 m³

Mass of fine Aggregate = 0.255 x 2.65 x 1000 = 676 kg

Trial Mix Proportions

The mix proportions (by mass) / m³ of concrete are :
Water 190 kg/m³
Cement 389.3 kg/m³
Fine Aggregate 676 kg/m³ Coarse 1= 684 kg/m³
Coarse Aggregate 958.018 kg/m³ Coarse 2= 274 kg/m³
Total = 2023.318 kg/m³

Coarse I : Coarse II = 2.5 1

Mix Ratio by mass = Water : Cement : Fine Agg. : Coarse Agg.

190 : 389.3 : 676 : 958.018
